TODO: Code of Conduct goes here
Intro: wtf-code-of-conduct
==========================

[Code of Conduct Document](code_of_conduct.md)

Thank you to the WTF18 attendees and Matt Brandt of Mozilla for encouraging the creation of a Code of Conduct for the Winter Tech Forum. This initial Code of Conduct is based on feedback from the WTF alumni community.

We hope, as a conference community, that we can iterate and improve these documents continually based on participant feedback.

The version posted on this GitHub repository is a work in progress and should not be considered final until approved by the conference organizers and distributed to attendees for acceptance of these terms as a condition of registration, which will clearly state the posted revision tag.

I like the idea of the simple version, but I don't think this is good enough. Reason being that most cases of harassment are unintentional. Otherwise put: just because you think you're not being an asshole doesn't necessarily translate to someone not feeling harassed by you. Pycon does this well:

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

What's missing from this short version: definitions of what kinds of behavior count as harassment, and what the consequence is for someone who engages in harassment. Pycon does this here:

If a participant engages in behavior that violates this code of conduct, the conference organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the conference with no refund.


2. If you have an issue, talk to Bruce and/or a trusted WTF conference participant.

Also, building out a list of a few participants here who are volunteering to act as a "safe contact" would be good, just to provide some options
